Melford Midnight

Melford Midnight is a quietly tailored blue weave with a fine herringbone-like texture and a cool, dusky finish. The close pattern reads softly tonal rather than high-contrast, giving the cloth a disciplined, understated look.

About this fabric

Part of Sanderson’s Melford Weaves collection, this fabric has a usable width of 138.5 cm and is supplied in 40 m lengths, with a 270 gsm weight that gives it reassuring body. The weave shows a tight, small-scale chevron effect, with a 1.6 cm horizontal repeat and no vertical repeat, so the surface feels regular and composed. In this Melford Midnight colourway, the blue sits in a slate-to-midnight range, softened by a grey cast that keeps it restrained rather than яр?

How to use it

Use this deep blue-grey on upholstered chairs, banquettes or a favourite armchair where you want the pattern to read as texture. It pairs well with pale wood, warm brass and chalky neutrals, which lift the cool depth of the shade.

A cool slate-blue weave that brings a tailored, understated finish to seating and soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Melford Midnight without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
